Jumbo Campground

Arrived on Friday, 5/23 and we were the first campers of the season! The camp host arrived on 5/19 and there was still 6inches of snow. Luckily all of the snow was melted and we landed a great spot for 2 nights at jumbo campground. Sunset lake is walking distance to the campground and was a great spot for my paddle board. Campground was $26/night for a non electrical spot with access to dumpsters and bathrooms this was a great option for Memorial Day weekend. Many of the hikes in the area were still blocked by snow, but should be clear in the next few weeks

Stayed in spot 18 which was close to vault toilets, but they were stinky and full of bugs. Very buggy in general, not all are mosquitos but there are some of those too. Sites 1, 2, 4, 18, 21, 23 were all decent looking with some shade in the afternoon and relatively level pads. Lakes in area, one adjacent to campground and one that is down a trail to a day use area that is covered by the camp fee. Good spacing between sites. Some have electric. A little warm for July, probably 80 degrees in afternoon. Lots of aspen trees in the area might be good for a fall visit. Bear cans available for trash.

Wonderful campground w roughly 20 campsites. They’re positioned a little close together for my liking but, the immediate access to two beautiful lakes, endless hiking and mountain biking trails more than made up for the close proximity to other campers. I would give this place a 5 star rating if it was not for the horrible smelling bathrooms. They were clean but the ammonia odor was too heavy to even use. We saw bald eagles, caught tons of rainbow trout, and even had a medium size bear come through a couple of times, who was never threatening, but looked like it was traveling along a set path to the next trout breakfast.

I love the campground

Near multiple fishing lakes, hiking trails and just down the road from a national recreation trail.  Quiet and very clean.  Love the walk up tent sites up on the hill.  Gives opportunity to site on the hillside for breakfast while watching the fishing in the lake in front of the campground.  Great place for a weekend getaway

This is a beautiful small hosted Forest Service campground just off Colorado Hwy 65 (Grand Mesa National Scenic and Historic Byway) in the Grand Mesa National Forest https://bit.ly/3iywM8z. A few electric sites are available, no sewer or water hookups, no groceries or gas nearby - town of Mesa approx 15 mi north. Near multiple lakes with day-use fishing and hand powered boating (permit included with camping). Also, nearby ATV and OHV trails (no ATV/OHV from campsites).

Very nice modern cg. Paved rds, gravel level pads, nice sites. 26 total sites, only 7 first come, but after Sept 13 all sites are first come till cg closes. Camp hosts on site and well maintained and clean. most sites have electric $36, 26$ for single non-electric sites.

The Grand Mesa is beautiful. Good separation between campspot. Lots of big RVs but lots of trees to make each spot feel cozy. Great fishing at the lakes.

This area of CO is unmatched in beauty and tranquility. Excellent wildlife viewing and challenging trails. Cold nights though!
